Let’s get Started:
Card Base: 5.25 x 10.5, scored and folded at 5.25
Card Face: 5.25 x 4.75
Card Face:
- I laid the card face on my grip mat and positioned the stencil.
- I used light pink ink across all exposed areas, allowing variation in the pressure to create visual interest.
Other:
- I positioned the leaf die on one of the gel prints from my stash, and ran it through the Big Shot.
- I taped the bird die to a scrap of white cardstock and ran it through the Big Shot.
Assembly
- I glued the leaf die cut to the card face, centering on all sides.
- I glued the bird die cut towards the bottom of the card face, on top of the first die cut.
- I added the bird inlay (optional with this die).
- I added Wink of Stella to the bird, as well as a gold bead for the eye.
- I put foam tape on the back of the card face and centered it horizontally on the card base.
Final Thoughts:
This mixture of elements feels sort of random, but works well together!
This design would work for many different needs: I wasn’t sure how I was going to use this card when I took the photo, but it was sent out to a friend going through a hard time with “hugs,prayers and love” in the upper right.
